Building Course Skills

engaging with literary texts, articles, charts, and audio
reports. Building on skills developed in Unit 1, students
enhance their skills in:
§ identifying perspectives
§ comprehending vocabulary in context
§ summarizing content in narrative form

building academic vocabulary needed for writing an
argumentative essay by listening to and discussing audio
reports, interpreting data and cultural trends from a visual
text, and reading and discussing articles.
§ Students demonstrate their ability to express their own
viewpoints and support them with textual evidence by
writing a thesis statement and selecting relevant evidence.
